I was invited to perfrom at the New Europeans UK's event on Youth Mobility at Europe House (the European Parliament Liaison Office) in London.

The event happened the day after the EU-UK summit where a "Youth Experience" scheme was agreed as well as the possibility of rejoining ERASMUS+ (al agreements to be agreed), so the discussion was very topical.

The Speakers included:

Manuela Perteghella, Liberal Democrat MP for Stratford-on-Avon and Chair of the APPG on Citizens’ Rights

Maurizio Cuttin, Spokesman for the British Youth Council and UK Young Ambassador to the European Youth Forum

Arttu Rajantie, Member of the Action Coordination Board of CONNECTS-UK, Chair of the Finnish Science Society in the UK, and Professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London

Jake Richings, Enterprise Co-ordinator at the Gloucestershire Careers Hub and Board Trustee for Employability UK

The panel was moderated by:

Kate Willoughby, actor and writer, who plays the role of suffragette Emily W Davison

I made a short personal anecdote about the value of youth mobility before performing 'We Are Europe' (with the chorus in three languages).
